MSI GeForce GTX 560Ti OC Twin FrozR II

Asus P8P67 PRO Intel P67
Asus GeForce GTX 460 1024MB
OCZ StealthXStream 2 600W PSU
Coolermaster Elite 430
Corsair XMS3 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 1600MHz Dual Channel

This should be it, i having some second thoughts about mobo,a one without SLI support would be fine too, I'm not plannning on going dual cards anyway. I know this might be too much but could someone point me to good alternative ? I'm buying from http://www.overclockers.co.uk/productlist.php?groupid=701&catid=5&subid=1906

Regards.

In my experience SLI is worth it only if you plan to purchase two high-end cards at the same time. Rarely with single-cards is it worthwhile to upgrade at a later date because, by then, a superior card has been released that makes the SLI setup obsolete. It's a nice motherboard regardless; I'm only speaking to buying it for SLI, specifically.

Also review the power draw of all those components; you may be approaching the limits of that 600W power supply, and you definitely want some head room.

Good luck,
